Chapter 2338: Chapter 2338

On this morning, thinking about things from the past, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly felt very insecure and started worrying: "The days ahead are still so long. You are so outstanding, and I can’t do anything. You will see many people and things that are better than me in this world. But, my dear brother, please don’t stop liking me, okay? If you think there’s something wrong with me or something I’m not doing well enough, tell me. I can change and learn to do it; I’m actually very smart."

As long as he didn’t stop liking her, she could learn to do anything.

For Duan Xi, Ruan Jiaojiao’s words were undoubtedly heart-wrenching.

He looked at her, held her small face, and lowered his head to gently peck her little lips: "You don’t need to do anything; just staying healthy by my side is enough."

Duan Xi knew that Ruan Jiaojiao still didn’t understand what she meant to him.

He came to this world for her.

Even now, as he absorbed everything in this world and kept himself busy, his original intention had never changed.

For him, she was the whole world.

She didn’t understand, but he would help her understand slowly.

"Hey!" As their faces got closer and were about to touch, a sudden shout came from downstairs. Ruan Jianguo was very anxious and flustered: "What are you doing! Xiaoxi, in broad daylight, don’t ruin my precious girl’s reputation!"

Ruan Jiaojiao’s little face turned red, and she immediately pushed Duan Xi away. That little bit of melancholy instantly disappeared.

Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes downstairs, she ran into the bathroom blushing to freshen up. When she came back out, breakfast was already set out in the downstairs dining room.

Ruan Jie had a big appetite, basically devouring one large bun at a time. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao come downstairs, he sat down and dropped a bombshell: "Since everyone is here, I’ll announce something today."

He made a show of clearing his throat, trying to appear more serious: "On the fourth day of the New Year, I’ll bring my girlfriend home to meet you."

As soon as he dropped the bomb, everyone stared at him in shock.

"What? Where did you get a girlfriend?" Ruan Jianguo asked.

Although the others didn’t ask, their expressions conveyed the same question. At least Ruan Hao had a bit of a lead, but Ruan Jie hadn’t shown any sign of this.

Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t even bother with breakfast and immediately sat next to Ruan Jie: "Second brother, are you serious? How come we never heard you mention this before?"

"Well, you never asked me." Ruan Jie replied.

"Speak properly!" Ruan Jianguo glared at him.

"Yeah, whose girl is she? When did you start dating? Have you already visited her family?" Ruanlin asked.

Seeing everyone’s interest, Ruan Jie sat down and answered earnestly.

The truth is, his relationship wasn’t something recent; it had been going on for over a year. He just felt it wasn’t the right time before, so he hadn’t planned to bring her home.

However, this time he’s going on an undercover mission that might last years, maybe even decades, or possibly end in death there. He didn’t want to hold her back.

He gave the choice to her, whether to continue or not would be her decision.

She gave him her clear answer yesterday, and he’s not one to drag things out, so he planned to resolve this swiftly before the official orders came down.

After the New Year, she would visit the family.
